When does it snow? Why is snow white? How do we know no two snowflakes are alike? (Hint: the proof is in the photographs, first made in the 1890s!) With full-colour photographs and the Smithsonian's famous Wilson Bentley snowflake photos, this new Curious About title looks at the science behind snow, and the history of record-setting blizzards and snowstorms plus how people have fun in the snow!
Surf’s up in this lively full-color doodle book! Developed with marine specialists at the Smithsonian, this full-color activity book explores marine environments and underwater explorations, from shoreline to the ocean floor, with a fun look at what’s swimming and floating by.
Who's Looking After the Zoo?
How do you weigh a panda? Or check a sea lion's tooth? Or figure out why a llama is limping? These are just some of the many tasks veterinarians, technicians, and animal keepers at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo are trained in. With full-color photos and lively, accessible text, this new title looks at the very busy “to do” list of zoo workers as they take care of their creatures large and small.
